[GNC] Stocks/Equities queries (Australian Based)

[D]

I'd go further and say that, while it is possible to do as Maf says, it can be quite confusing to manage, especially where investments are concerned. Capital gains and basis calculations are tricky enough to manage without having to jigger balances.

I'd recommend choosing one or the other: either start at the beginning, or use an opening balance.

Yes, but you'll need to pay attention & reduce the opening balance transaction 
if you go further "back in time" amd add detail - it won't auto adjust!
